Product Information
A brilliant duet and a moving exploration of the American immigrant experience. --Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being A dual first-person memoir by the acclaimed Vietnamese-American novelist and her thoroughly American teenage daughter In 1975, thirteen-year-old Lan Cao boarded an airplane in Saigon and got off in a world where she faced hosts she had not met before, a language she didn't speak, and food she didn't recognize, with the faint hope that she would be able to go home soon. Lan fought her way through confusion, and racism, to become a successful lawyer and novelist. Four decades later, she faced the biggest challenge in her life- raising her daughter Harlan--half Vietnamese by birth and 100 percent American teenager by inclination. In their lyrical joint memoir, told in alternating voices, mother and daughter cross ages and ethnicities to tackle the hardest questions about assimilation, aspiration, and family. Lan wrestles with her identities as not merely an immigrant but a refugee from an unpopular war. She has bigoted teachers who undermine her in the classroom and tormenting inner demons, but she does achieve--either despite or because of the work ethic and tight support of a traditional Vietnamese family struggling to get by in a small American town. Lan has ambitions, for herself, and for her daughter, but even as an adult feels tentative about her place in her adoptive country, and ventures through motherhood as if it is a foreign landscape. Reflecting and refracting her mother's narrative, Harlan fiercely describes the rites of passage of childhood and adolescence, filtered through the aftereffects of her family's history of war, tragedy, and migration. Harlan's struggle to make friends in high school challenges her mother to step back and let her daughter find her own way. Family in Six Tones speaks both to the unique struggles of refugees and to the universal tug-of-war between mothers and daughters. The journey of an immigrant--away from war and loss toward peace and a new life--and the journey of a mother raising a child to be secure and happy are both steep paths filled with detours and stumbling blocks. Through explosive fights and painful setbacks, mother and daughter search for a way to accept the past and face the future together.

- r***l (96)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoArrived 5 days after order, although it was still listed as "awaiting dispatch" until long after it had been delivered (the email telling me it was being dispatched arrived 9 days after the book). Well packaged and as described. Excellent book at a decent price.
- n***i (78)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoDespite Ebay update status still saying that the book is Awaiting Dispatch... It is actually with me. There seemed likely that there may have been a 5 business day wait prior to dispatch but a quick email to the seller outlined the situation. Overall a good experience. Book of excellent quality and of a reasonable price. Well protected for posting. Seemed to be delivered by Amazon? Would recommend this seller.
